My mobile rang at 5.30am
this morning. "Daddies Little Angel TM"'s
waters had broken. I thought this was all rather exciting, but with a
"been there, done that" shrug "er indoors
TM" went back to kip for another hour or
so.
I got up, fed toast
crusts to my dog and watched the next episode of "Revolution".
The series started well, but as time goes on I find myself
questioning the show's plausibility. Like any sci-fi show one can go
along with the patently unlikely scenarios if the characters are
beleivable. But the leading protagonists have no consistency. One
moment they have a firm moral compass; the next they are carboard
cut-outs doing whatever makes for a simplistic plot. Having travelled
miles to do right wrongs and stand up for the little guys, today our
main hero is trying to create anthrax-bombs to unleash on an innocent
public. Really?
But with only four
episodes to go I shall see it out till the end.
Off to work... as I drove
I tried to listen to the radio, but there was hardly anything of
note. I got petrol this morning; working on the principle that with
the littlun on the way I might be better off with a full fuel tank
rather than an empty one.
I got to work, and did my
bit. About mid morning I got the message that "Team
Maternity" had decamped to the hospital. Not the one I was
in; which was probably for the best.
At lunchtime I got the
message that the entire labour process was on hold, and that "Team
Maternity" was going home until things started happening
again. I didn't get much saxing done at lunch time; I spent much of
the time messaging here, there and thither
This evening's walk with
"Furry Face TM" was interesting.
We took his ball; and this time he wanted me to throw it for him (a
few times). Every time he chased it he got the ball fine when it
was still moving. When it stopped before he could get close he seemed
to have trouble finding it; even though it has an internal light and
it glows. I've often wondered if he has bad eyesight.
And then I got a message
from "er indoors TM". Labour
pains have started again, and she is back off to the hospital with
"Daddies Little Angel TM".
I am reliably informed
there are sausages in the freezer...
